    It depends what kind of person you are, how much energy you want to invest, how much patience you have for stuff that isn't the code you're writing, how much you enjoy editing itself, etc.

    I have a quite extensive setup (https://github.com/Julian/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim) which I built up over 10+ years, indeed sometimes including sitting there for an hour or two and just investigating plugins or writing some function to make editing easier.
